From the end of the day backwards. I made a fritata (!!!), and I am so overly excited about it. I've been wanting to make a fritata for at least a year -- probably since I got my cast iron pan -- and I finally found the perfect recipe for my first try. A fritata with onion, garlic, spicy chicken chorizo, roasted red peppers, chickpeas, smoked paprika, spinach and cheese, inspired by food52. It popped with flavor, and was so filling. I just wanted to keep shoveling it into my mouth. I can't wait to eat leftovers for lunch and then make another tomorrow!

I signed up for my first race in 2016, the Hot Chocolate 15K, and I am more then pumped. I don't know if I'm more excited about the run or the swag. Together it is going to be fabulous, and I can't wait to get myself back in gear and going.

Earlier today I received a surprise gift card from my cousin's to go to their restaurant, DC Harvest, as a thanks for some design help. The gift card looked so good. I am so happy and excited to get a gift card to use toward their delicious food, at their amazing restaurant. It was so heartwarming and I feel so appreciated by my cousins.

Before that was my day-by-day 2016 calendar. I am still so in love with it. Just about everyday has been spot on, and each "happiness is…" is pretty much me to a "T." Today was balloons, and I don't think many people love balloons as much as me. In fact, I think I should buy myself one to go with this calendar day (or maybe have Brenden pick one up since it is 10:30 pm and I'm in my PJs), it's been a couple of months since we had a balloon floating around our house.
